It is also a sign of US imperialism’s relative loss of influence in Myanmar, so soon after it appeared to have wrested the country out of China’s control by means of the very same Aung San Suu Kyi.ĭuring the three-day trial, Aung San Suu Kyi sat impassively through the horrifying details of the genocidal oppression of the Rohingya Muslims in the country’s north west, such as the massacre at Min Gyi village, in which around 750 people were killed, including over a hundred children under six-years-old. The swift collapse of her reputation has exposed and discredited western liberalism, with its imperialist practice of canonising its stooges as saints. On 23 January 2020, the court reached a unanimous decision that Myanmar does have a case to answer, rejecting Aung San Suu Kyi’s arguments, and concluding that the 600,000 or so Rohingyas that remain in Myanmar are at risk of genocide.Īs such, she has joined the swelling ranks of ignominious Nobel Peace Prize holders such as Henry Kissinger. However, the saintly Aung San Suu Kyi was not, as you might expect, here to condemn Myanmar’s military junta, which for so many years oppressed her, but to defend it against accusations of the genocide of the Rohingya people. On 10 December, Aung San Suu Kyi, also known by some western commentators as ‘South East Asia’s Nelson Mandela’ appeared in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN’s highest court, which is famous for trying war criminals and genocidal leaders.
